2.         Non-Personal Information: We may collect certain aggregate and non-personal information when you use or interact with the Services, such as information about your browser, network, and device.

For example, it tells us such things as how our Services are being utilized and may be improved, content viewed and accessed, information about the practical use and functionality of the App, searches, timestamps, and additional information as further described later herein. By collecting this information, we learn how to tailor our Services to meet your needs. The information that we collect may be shared by you with us directly, or it may be collected indirectly.

3.         Cookies and Other Tracking Tools; Third Party Analytics Services. We may use cookies, clear GIFs, web beacons, tracking technologies or other similar solutions (“Tracking Technologies”) to collect or receive certain information when you visit or use our App or read an email, newsletter, or otherwise interact with content from us. These Tracking Technologies may include first party cookies (i.e., those placed by the App being visited) and third-party cookies (i.e., those placed by a App other than the one being visited), local shared objects (commonly referred to as “Flash Cookies” or “HTML 5 Cookies”) and tracking pixels (including transparent or clear gifs).

Cookies are small data files which are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a App or use an online service. For example, cookies enable us to identify and authenticate you and remember your preferences so we can enhance your experience on our App and in connection with our Services.

We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies enable you to take advantage of some of the features of our Services and the App’s features and if you decline or delete them then parts of the App may not work properly. Where legally permitted, we will assume that you have agreed to receive all cookies on our App through your continued use; otherwise, your acceptance of such cookies by way of your browser settings shall be deemed your acceptance of the use of such Tracking Technologies.

We may use several different types of cookies on our App, including the following. Please note that our App may be hosted by a third party service provider, which may have certain tracking technologies innately built into their service.  For additional information about whether our use of a third party service to host this App, please contact us using the information located at the end of this Policy. 

●        Necessary. Strictly necessary cookies facilitate the operation of our App which allow Squarespace, our hosting platform, to securely serve this App to you. Without the use of these cookies, portions of our App would not function properly. For example, we use essential cookies to help us identify whether you have an account with us.

●        Performance, Analytics, and Functional Cookies. Performance cookies help us monitor the performance of our App and how users interact with them. These cookies collect information such as how often users visit our App, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other Apps they used prior to coming to our App, and provide us with information that allows us to improve our App and Services.  CareerAccelerator may also use functional cookies on its App.  Functional cookies are used to remember your preferences on our App and to authenticate your identity. For example, we use functional cookies to recognize and save your name and password on our App.  When you use our App or content posted on it that employs Macromedia Flash Player, a small Flash Cookie may be used. The purpose of using these cookies is to store your flash player preferences and enhance your browsing experience.

●        Advertising Cookies. CareerAccelerator may use advertising cookies, including behavioral advertising, in order to provide you with advertising that is tailored to your interests when you visit the Site on and off our Site. Advertising cookies analyze information about your interests and your browsing history and provide you with advertisements on and off our network that match these interests. Behavioral advertising is a type of advertising that is based on your web browsing activity over a period of time.  It is different than advertising that you may see when you are using a search engine (e.g., Google, Yahoo, or Bing) or on an App that you may be visiting at a particular time.  Although our App does not currently respond to “do not track” browser headers, you can limit tracking through third-party programs and by taking the other steps discussed in this section. You may opt-out of internet-based advertising by removing cookies or by setting your web browser settings to refuse cookies and similar Tracking Technologies. Please note that web browsers operate using different identifiers. As such, you must adjust your settings in each web browser and for each computer or device that you would like to opt-out on. Further, if you simply delete your cookies, you will need to remove cookies from your device after every visit to Apps. You may download a browser plugin that will help you maintain your opt-out choices by visiting www.aboutads.info/pmc. You may block cookies entirely by disabling cookie use in your browser or by setting your browser to ask for your permission before setting a cookie. Blocking cookies entirely may cause some Apps to work incorrectly.

Please note that the use of online tracking mechanisms by third parties is subject to those third parties’ own privacy policies, and not this Privacy Policy. You may remove yourself from the targeted advertising of companies within the Network Advertising Initiative, or of companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance program, the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (DAAC) (for Canadian users); or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) (for users in the EU).

4.         Google reCAPTCHA. In addition to the foregoing, in order to protect our registration forms and other App features, we may use Google reCAPTCHA provided by Google Inc. (“reCAPTCHA”). We employ reCAPTCHA to check whether data is entered into our forms by a person or by an automated program, script or bot. reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the person entering the data using various features. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the App is accessed. For analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, browser type, settings, and plugins, URL of the referring App, time spent on the respective App, mouse movements, input characteristics of the data entry, including speed, sequence and selection of inputs, etc.). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to a Google server in the US, where it is stored and evaluated. We carry out this processing based on our legitimate interest in preventing the misuse of our App through automated means. You can find Google’s current privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Detailed information about Google reCAPTCHA can be found at the following address: https://www.google.com/recaptcha.
